Flashes of lightning every 6 seconds if the most frequent I've witnessed too personally, in the UK at least.

It was a great feeling being safe indoors watching! Our elder cat was scared shitless though, hid under the duvet all night. Kitten Pogo wasn't bothered! He even slept through some of the thunder.

It was very exciting though, given that the storm was directly over us. Although sheltering in the metal bus shelter may have been a bad idea in hindsight.

However, during the second, later burst of the storm (sometime during CSI) there was the legendary HAILSTONES THE SIZE OF GOLFBALLS bouncing off my windowledge.
I suppose I should have gone downstairs and looked at them more properly, but Catherine looked like she was going to Get Some for the first time in, well, ever, last night.

Luckily I've just finished washing the dishes. Does anyone know of anyone who has actually been hit by lightening while on the computer?

it's really thundering and raining here. i'm away from my house, but i left my box fan running in the window. i'm assuming it's getting wet. is this really dangerous or is the worst that's likely to happen is i ruin my fan? should i run home and turn it off even if it's inconvenient?

hmmm. maybe. i guess that itself wouldn't be the end of the world. i just don't want it to cause a fire or something... obv.
― by another name (amateurist), Thursday, 9 June 2011 01:19 (thirteen years ago) link
seems like the worst possible outcome is 'electrical fire'
― british sb power (dayo), Thursday, 9 June 2011 01:22 (thirteen years ago) link
but it's raining so that should put out the fire

A new world record lightning has been recorded! A World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has established two new world records for the longest reported distance and the longest reported duration for a single lightning flash. The longest lightning flash duration is now set at more than 16 seconds in Argentina, while the longest distance is set at more than 700 km (nearly 450 miles) in Brasil!
just trying to imagine what a 450 mile lightening flash that isn't on one of the gas giants, but here on this rock, looks like. jeez!

Yeah slept through last night's. Looked at the radar map and seems a bit unusual for the storms to drift from south-east to north west as they seem to be.
